-I can’t express how grateful I am that Sean Higgins took me on as a client. In addition to being extremely effective at practicing law, Sean was attentive, empathetic, timely, and fantastic at breaking down the legalities of the situation I was facing. He always answered my questions quickly, and in great detail, regardless of how large or small. He actively listened to my concerns and was adept at being able to help me understand the legal situation with which I was involved. He had an uncanny ability to explain complex situations in a very digestible manner. Sean is a legal practitioner who is solution-oriented and constantly focused on how we can best achieve the desired resolution. He is always curious and never critical of the situation at hand. While I hope I never need another Lawyer, Sean would be the first person I go to or recommend to a friend if I ever find myself or a loved one in a similar situation.
Mr. Higgins is an expert in his work. I worked with Sean from April 2022 to October 2022, and cannot recommend him enough for business/employment negotiations and litigations. I felt confident in navigating my concerns with Mr. Higgins' guidance and support.

Awesome Attorney!!!
We are glad as a growing company, that we came to know Sean William Higgins who willingly accepted our case of Worker Compensation issue. He actively communicated via emails and phone calls guiding us at every stage for furnishing the required documents in support of the case. We were thrilled at the outstanding success that he arrived at dealing with WC board. It is definitely great news for us that he was able to justify our disposition very clearly, precisely and accurately.

A lawyer I can trust
Sean Higgins is very competent and professional. He has a quality that may be rare among attorneys: he patiently explained every step of the legal process to make sure that, as a client, I knew how to document our case. Plus, he does not forget the human angle involved and his fees are very reasonable
